Fire, Fire Everywhere

On the eve of our 10th wedding anniversary we sealed over there fireplaces and kitchen window box with plastic we had in the shed for making cloches. Many jokes were made.

A sign we after doing ok even as fire evacuation zones creep ever closer.

Earlier the basement smelled really smoky. We have covered over the empty fireplace, sealing it closed. We've had cardboard over it, almost forgetting it entirely. We're also limiting exiting the house to keep smoke from coming in.

Ash had been falling for a few hours now.

We'll be preparing for possible evacuation the next couple of days. We're only a few miles from an area that's at Level 1 (Get Ready) already.

The weather is shifting though. The winds have already settled down.
